The Picnic.

every hillside gave forth its rill
every valley its stream, and behold an
avalancheof the people was there"
This fittingly describes the vast
crowd that attended the railroad En-
ployes' Mutual ReliefSocietiy's Annu-
al picnic at this place last Saturday.
The day opened with perfect summer
weather A lovlier day could not
have been desired for the occasion and
the "waterless' city presented a gay
appearance in her holiday attire. The
merchants and citizens, with their
usual enterprise, decorated their dwell
ings and places OF business with flags
and bunting as an evidence to the
visitors that Johnson City welcomed
them. Everybody came, even the sun
seemed to draw nearer and take part
in all the sport, especially in assisting
the mercury to Climb its little pole up
into the nineties. The first excursion
train to arrive was on the Narrow
Gauge road and about 500 people were
added to the already large crowd that
had gathered from the surrounding
country. Next came the train from
Bristol with between rs and 100 Rris-
tolians and others from along the
line. About half past eleven the pic
nickers from Knoxville arrived. Two
trains, one of twelve and the other of
thirteen cars, were necessary to ac-
commodate the large crowd and then
each car was crowded to its utmost
The first train was drawn by engine
No. 80 with Shafer at the throttle and
Capt. Mooney in charge and the sec
ond section was whirled in few min
utes later by Sam Smith at the throttle
of the 30 and Capt. Ellsworth pull
ing the string. Both engines were
profusely decorated. The trains stop
ped above the foundry and machine
works and the picnickers repaired to
the picnic grounds only a short dis
lance away. Dinner was spread and
the quietest hour of the day was spent.
1t was evident they intended to enjoy
themselves for as soon as dinner was
over portion of the crowd assembled
in the tobacco warehouse where lovers
of the terpsichorean art tripped the
eight fantastic" to music furnished by
the Crouch band, of Knoxville.
At o'clock the game of base ball
between Knoxville and Bristol was
called and large crowd was on the
! grounds to witness the contest. The
game was too one-sided to be very in
; teresting and resulted in victory fol

A sronstrous Sturgeon.

The Weiser (Idaho) Leader vouches for
this large and curious fsh story as true:
A few days since James Holcomb, pro.
prietor Of Sturgil Bar on Snake river.
was riding up along the bank Of the river,
when he saw q large sturgeon lying in two
and a half or three feet Of water, ap-
parently asleep. The fish's head would
bob up and the tail down. Jim looked a
long time at the fish and finally a thought
struck him that he wanted the fish, but
the only things he had to kill or capture il
with was 9 lasso and plenty Of rocks. So
be took his rope and walked quietly into
the water and up behind his fishship and
dropped the rope over its tail. He did not
dare tighten the rope until he had disabled
the fish; so be took up a large rock and
when the head came mp he let the stone 60;
and he made q splendid shot; hit IL square
on the head and stunned the fish. Then
he drew the fish to the bank, tied II to o
tree and finished IL with his pocket.knife,
The fish was 9 feet 7 inches long and
weighed over five hundred pounds.

purpose Of being married. The ceremony

riage.

Hours passed and he came not, and q,
last q messenger was sent to his board

was found on the floor, dead.
He had been ill with dysentery fol
some time, and it was thought that be
died from the effects of the disease. To
day, however. when the Coroner examined
the body, q small wound in the neck
penetrating the juglar vein, was found,
and subsequent investigation demonstrate
ed that he had committed suicide. The
weapon he used was a penknife. Nothing
was found to indicate the cause of the act
He was In comfortable circumstances, and
his act is attributed to q sudden fit o.

DRINK MORE WATER.

Our dry Eastern climate calls for extra
water to "moisten our clay" Physi.
clans generally agree that the American
people are physically too dry, and would
be the better for a large addition to the
fluids of the body. We offer a marked
contrast in fluid ~fullness to the denizens
of moister climates. Eastern men un-
dergo a wonderful Transformation in the
moist atmosphere Of the Pacific Coast.
Do not be afraid, in warm and thirsty
weather, to drink all the water you want,
with due attention and regard to the ef-
feet produced. The water craved is all
needed, to supply the large drafts made
by perspiration and evaporation from
the skin. In cool weather also, it is
good for our dried-up anatomy, to
practice a system of drinking independ-
emit of thirst. We add remarks found
quoted without credit from a medical
writer, which strikes US as judicious and
forcible:
"That water promotes appetite and
digestion when taken with meals is
shown by the fact that no 'anti.fat
system Of diet is so remarkably success.
full as that in which no drinks are per.
mitted- to be taken with meals or until
two hours after them. When 1t is an
object to reduce the amount Of the
blood, as in certain heart affections, q
dry diet system is of great service,
but the kidneys must be in excellent
working order or this system must
prove injurious. As a matter of fact,
however, q considerable number of peo-
pie in every community take too little
fluids of any kind. When the supply
OF liquids is much below the actual de.
mand, the greatest dangers are incurred
from the accumulation of waste materi.
ais. which are naturally removed by the
skin and kidneys ~(through the medium
of the water supply, besides the still
graver Immediately risks Of sunstroke
and heat exhaustion. Liver and kidney
troubles. headaches. neuralgia, etc., are
often to be traced to avoidance OF fluids.
1t is probable that a large proportion of
the benefit derived from mineral springs
is to be attributed to the taking of un.
usual quantities Of water. Hence the
reputation of many q health resort is

lures, heavy as they are. and in the fiscal
wear, which ended on the 3Oth of June
last, sIIO,O 600, 900 Of the national debt
was paid off, and a respectable surplus
left in the Treasury. AS no more bonds
will be due until 1891, something must
be done to reduce the surplus. II the
receipts continue as they now are, means
must be devised to get the money out of
the Treasury to prevent a panic. Con-
gress could authorize the Secretary OF
the Treasury to purchase in the open
market bonds which become due in 1891,
and keep the money in circulation by
paying off the national debt, but bond.
holders might refuse to sell them except
at an m premium, or it might
authorize the expenditure of q hundred
millions or more for coast defenses, and
in hat way get the money back among
the people, or it can reduce the revenue
by aboIishing the tariff on many articles.
This latter is the method that is most
likely to be adopted. judging by the re.

men, who have been conspicuous in con.
n~ection with finances and the tariff, in
reply to ~interrogatories sent them by
the st. Louis Republican. Speaker Car.
Isle thinks the revenue will be reduced
at the next session on a basis satisfactory
to all interests. McMillen of Tennessee
says an equal reduction Of internal
revenue and customs duties would afford
a basis for compromise. Breckenridge
of Kentucky thinks the President and
Secretary of the Treasury should formu.
late a tariff bill which should be a party
measure, while his namesake from Ar.
kansas admits that he knows no basis
for a compromise. Randall of Pennsyl.
vania believes in the abolition Of internal
revenue and a fair and just revision OF
the present tariff, while Cox of New
York is of the opinion that q com.
promise can be effected which will be &C.
ceptable to all.
Randalls proposition to abolish the
internal revenue tax will meet deter
mined opposition from the Prohibition
lists and Others, who think it will in
crease drunkenness and the use Of to.
bacco to abolish the tax on those articles,
while those who think that the States
should regulate the sale of intoxicants
may favor it. There is. one thing GER
tain, however, and that is that the
Treasury receipts must be reduced or the
expenditures of the Government in.
creased to prevent all the money in the
country from being accumulated in the
Treasury in the next four years. If the
Congress, which authorized the issue OF
the outstanding bonds, had made them
redeemable at the option of the Govern.
ment. the country would not be placed
in the peculiar position it now occupies,
owing an immense debt, on which it has
to pay interest, with more money in the
Treasury than it can use advantageously.
